Jaconé Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the outlook for Jaconé.

First thing you need to know – the water temp here is sitting right around average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on with that.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start to the period. Thursday is a write-off – messy, cross-onshore winds and the swell is just not cooperating. We’re looking at a pretty choppy, poor surf day, so don’t even bother.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Friday morning, July 10th. The wind swings offshore from the NE, light breeze, and we get a clean 3ft SE swell. The period is a long 14 seconds, which is proper groundswell. That long period means the waves will have some real shape and energy, but at a beach break it can sometimes make things a bit straight. Still, with offshore wind and clean conditions, it’s worth a look. The combined energy is moderate (468).

The next standout is Sunday, July 12th. The morning session is clean again with a 3ft SE swell and offshore NE wind, but the real gem is the Sunday afternoon. We get some clouds, a light breeze, and a cross-offshore wind with a 4ft S swell, 11-second period. The combined energy jumps to moderate (545) and the conditions are described as clean. This is a solid window for a fun surf.

Now, listen up, because Monday afternoon, July 13th is the best of the first week. The wind goes glassy, dead calm. The swell builds to 5ft from the S, with an 11-second period. The combined energy is strong (708). This is the kind of afternoon where you’re just floating out there, no wind, and the waves are pumping. It’s not too big for a decent intermediate, but it’s got enough push to be fun.

Tuesday, July 14th is a washout. Strong onshore winds and a lumpy 5ft – 6ft swell. That’s a hard pass.

Wednesday morning, July 15th is another glassy session. The wind is dead calm from the N, and we’ve got a 5ft SSE swell. This is good, clean surf, but the period is 10 seconds, so it’s a bit more of a wind-swell vibe. The combined energy is strong (562).

Thursday morning, July 16th is a solid pick. Offshore NE wind at 9 mph, a 5ft SE swell, and good energy. It’s a clean, fun morning.

The second week gets a bit more mixed. We see a pattern of mornings with offshore NE winds and clean 3ft to 4ft swells, but the periods drop to 7 or 8 seconds – short-period wind swell. That’s weaker, less punchy surf. The afternoon winds come in from the E or ESE, so it’s not as clean.

Monday morning, July 20th is a bit of a spike. The swell jumps to 6ft from the ENE, with a 7-second period. Combined energy is strong (551) and the wind is offshore and light. That’s a lot of water moving fast, but the short period means it’ll be a bit walled up and chaotic. This one is for experienced surfers only.

The rest of the second week is a mixed bag of small, clean mornings and afternoons that are either poor or just ordinary. There’s nothing truly standout after the first week, but there are still some fun, rideable mornings if you’re keen.

Bottom line: The best windows are Sunday afternoon, July 12th and Monday afternoon, July 13th. That Monday afternoon with the glassy conditions and 5ft swell is the pick of the whole 16 days.

Rusty.
